Shake Shack 3 Brewster Road, Newark Fast Food • $

“Great experience at Shake Shack at Newark Airport! The service was really good and surprisingly fast, especially for an airport. Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful, and the burgers were absolutely delicious.

The prices were also pretty reasonable. Obviously, it’s airport food, so you expect to pay a little more, but honestly, it wasn’t nearly as overpriced as I expected.

Good food, fast service, and really nice staff. Definitely a great option if you’re at Newark Airport and want a good burger before your flight!”

I've gotten take out a couple times and the banh mi's bread were quite soft and a bit soggy so I had to throw it back in the air fryer. And the pho were very small portions with 4 pieces of thin meat. Other than that, they're quick and friendly with their service.”

Consigliere 31 Warren Street, Newark Wine Bar

“It is a cool, laid back atmosphere. On Fridays before 7Pm, the curtains are open and the together is flowing in to experience the beauty of the space. After 7pm is when they close the curtains and make a really lovely jazz club vibe with low lights and warm lighting from beautiful lamps. There us a DJ that plays at 8:00PM and the music is super jazzy but at about 9pm, he started playing some really good club/jazzy music. Really good, not too loud! The bartenders/servers are the most sweetest , kindest people and they are super knowledgeable regarding the wines and spirits selections. Shout out to EP! She's the best and she should get a HUGE RAISE or Manager (if she's not already)! Sis KNOWS what she is doing and a beautiful soul to boot. The small plates is pleasantly deliciously for what they offer. We had this fig jam, beef, arugula and cheese paying on their famous rosemary focaccia bread. It wa sacconpanied by with THE MOST TASTIEST truffle chips! My goodness! The Friday before last, I had the Bread and Butter. It came with the famous rosemary focaccia bread and this AMAZING compound butter that was paprika and rosemary infused. Their Happy hour menu is pretty good and the prices are very decent. However, well after Happy hour is over, they are still decent because when they are pouring top shelf-top tier, they are pouring. Happy hour is 4pm - 7pm. The drinks are always delicious and so is the wine. They will give you a mini wine tasting if you are just wanting to see what you might enjoy. There is a ton of cool seating but both times I was there I sat at the bar and I think that will always be my choice. The bar stools are more so open right after work between 5pm and 6ishPM. Overall. I will keep returning to Consigliere for the experience. The fact that it is around the corner from my job and I can unwind after work is a plus. But even if I didn't, I'd always choose to go there for a quick glass OR NOT for a quick glass, a few LOL.”

My wife and I were amazed to find the fresh ingredients and complimentary flavors reminded us of some of our favorite restaurants on Cozumel. My only complaint is that the food is too good for a food Truck. Mike already figured this out because he's opening a restaurant. I can't wait to see his presentation on some colorful Mexican crockery. Traditional rum, tequila, and mescal drinks would make a perfect evening.”

HOWEVER… D&J Country Cooking is absolutely AMAZING. 💯 I was a little disappointed that they don’t offer dine-in, because I would’ve loved to enjoy my food hot at a table. Instead, I ended up eating it in my car. But let me tell you — it was still worth it. I ordered the fish, yams, and mac & cheese… and it was incredible. Everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted like real home cooking. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a very kind elderly woman who greeted me with eye contact, a warm attitude, and great recommendations. She was sweet, helpful, and really made me feel comfortable about trying the food. It was a true example of Southern hospitality. I’m giving this spot 9 stars. It would’ve been a full 10 if they had dine-in seating, because the food is so good it deserves to be enjoyed fresh at a table. Hopefully they consider adding a sit-down option in the future because it would really take the experience to another level. I’ll definitely be back. I’ve got to try the neckbones on Wednesday or Thursday next time. Great spot!!!!!”

“I have been coming to The Little Diner every day for the past week for breakfast, and it has quickly become one of my favorite little spots. The ladies who work there are always incredibly welcoming, friendly, and kind. After only a few visits, they already know my order by heart, which makes every morning feel a little more personal and special. That kind of genuine hospitality is hard to find these days.

The Little Diner truly lives up to its name—it is a charming, cozy place filled with warmth, kindness, and a real neighborhood feeling. You are not treated like just another customer; you are made to feel comfortable and appreciated from the moment you walk through the door. Between the friendly service, the welcoming atmosphere, and the great breakfast, I look forward to coming back each morning. I highly recommend this wonderful little gem!”

From that point on, the rest of my month was excellent. The apartment met my needs, and it was reassuring to know that management was so attentive and easy to work with. I really appreciate Maurice’s effort and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Newark.”

The restaurant itself felt very quiet and empty. There wasn’t any music playing, which made the atmosphere feel less inviting. I also noticed there were no desserts available, and the refrigerator looked mostly empty with very few drink options.

The buffet is small and offers mostly basic dishes, so there isn’t a lot of variety to choose from.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but I think the food, atmosphere, and menu selection could all be improved.”

“WHAT A COMEBACK!!! Seriously, I’m SO happy I came back!

I have to be honest — the last time I was here, I left feeling pretty sad because the food and service had really gone downhill. It was honestly disappointing because I remembered how good everything was when they first opened. So I came back this time with somewhat low expectations… and WOW, was I pleasantly surprised!

The food was INCREDIBLE. Not just “good” — I mean SO GOOD. Everything was fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and honestly even better than I remembered it being when they first opened, which is saying A LOT because they were already good back then!

But the biggest surprise was the service. Maria Eduarda, our bartender, and Pedro, our server, were absolutely EXCEPTIONAL. They went above and beyond — and then somehow found a way to go a little further . They were attentive without being overbearing, genuinely friendly, incredibly helpful, and made us feel like they actually cared about making sure we had the best experience possible.

You could really feel the difference from the moment we walked in. It felt like the restaurant had found its spark again — except now the quality is even better than it was when they first opened!

I left this time not only full, but genuinely happy and relieved that this place is back to being somewhere I’m excited to come to.

A HUGE shoutout to Maria Eduarda and Pedro — you two absolutely made our experience! You did everything and MORE to make sure we were taken care of, and it definitely did not go unnoticed.

Whatever you guys are doing now — KEEP DOING IT! The food is amazing, the service is fantastic, and the whole experience was exactly what I hoped it would be.

I’ll definitely be coming back — and next time, I’m bringing an even bigger appetite!”

NICO Kitchen + Bar One Center Street, Newark New American • $$

“Came here with a friend to grab dinner before seeing a show in NJPAC. Service was fantastic - our waitress was a delight, the table was never unnecessarily crowded with plates, and my glass seemed to never run out of water. The atmosphere is pleasant, we opted for couch seating since the tables were all reserved and the positioning of the chairs we sat at was a little awkward with a large potted plant and the table itself, but all in all a lovely place. Lots of neat artwork on the walls and good ambient lighting. The food however had me disappointed... I opted for something easy and reliable, a chicken pot pie. When it came out it looked GREAT, but when I started to dig in I realized the biscuit crust on top was very difficult to break apart, and trying a bite made me realize the biscuit was... Tough? And chewy? Genuinely not sure how that was managed but it was unpleasant. The actual filling was fine enough - the vegetables (carrots and potatoes in particular) could have all been cooked down to be softer but they were perfectly edible. That said, the filling was pretty flavorless. The chicken in the filling? FANTASTIC. But only by itself, everything else drowned out the chicken and the delicious flavor of the chicken unfortunately was not enough to flavor the rest, so it was a bland and tough chewy mess that was difficult to eat. We got dessert after and I opted for a slice of cheesecake - the cheesecake was phenomenal. Incredibly airy, light, creamy, and flavorful. It had a raspberry sauce/compote of some kind that I wasn't fond of but that's a personal preference, objectively it was well made and delicious overall.

All things considered, I'd rate this place 3.5 stars if I could.”

Wanderlust Burger Bar 62 Newark International Airport St C Terminal, Newark Hamburger • $$

“I want to express my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary kindness and compassion shown by your staff during a frightening and overwhelming situation. Two employees, a woman and a man, at Wonderlust Bar in Newark, NJ, went above and beyond to help my family, and one woman in particular touched our hearts in a way we can only describe as an earth angel. My beloved 88-year-old father, who recently developed Alzheimer’s, had missed two flights and was confused and vulnerable. In the middle of what I can only imagine was an incredibly busy shift, with a restaurant full of customers to care for, these employees took the time to help him. The woman, in particular, showed him such patience, kindness, and compassion, helping ensure he could safely get on another flight. They could have simply continued with their busy workday, but instead, they chose to help. We could never repay them for the peace of mind they gave us or for the care they showed my dad. I simply hope they know that their actions made an enormous difference to our family, and we will never forget them or what they did. To these wonderful employees, especially the woman who has continued to check on my father: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Wonderlust Bar, you have some truly special people on your team. Please know how deeply appreciated they are. My family will forever be grateful for their kindness. Thank you thank you thank you!”

“The food was pretty good. Im satisfied. (EDIT THAT I FORGOT TO LEAVE). RIGHT AFTER I LEFT THIS REVIEW FROM INSIDE THE IHOP, I COME OUT TO MY CAR BOOTED. THIS ESTABLISHMENT DOES NOT DESERVE MY OWN OR ANYONE’S MONEY AS THE OWNER OF THE LOT CAN CARE LESS TO BOOT A PAYING CUSTOMER’S VEHICLE. ASKED THE PARKING ENFORCER TO CONTACT WHOEVER OWNS THE LOT AND HE WAS RELUCTANT GIVE UP THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION. 200 DOLLARS JUST TO GET THE BOOT OFF MY TIRE, FOR IHOP THIS IS RIDICULOUS.”

Shake Shack 3 Brewster Road, Newark Fast Food • $

“Great experience at Shake Shack at Newark Airport! The service was really good and surprisingly fast, especially for an airport. Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful, and the burgers were absolutely delicious.

The prices were also pretty reasonable. Obviously, it’s airport food, so you expect to pay a little more, but honestly, it wasn’t nearly as overpriced as I expected.

Good food, fast service, and really nice staff. Definitely a great option if you’re at Newark Airport and want a good burger before your flight!”

Applebee's Grill + Bar 383 Springfield Avenue, Newark American • $$

“On Sept. 23 we had the pleasure of being served by Dennis W., and I just want to make sure he gets the recognition he deserves! 🌟

Dennis was attentive, welcoming, approachable, friendly, and genuinely caring from the moment we sat down. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed, and truly enjoyed our experience. It honestly felt like he catered to us—not just as customers, but as people.

We always hear people talk about the bad experiences, but I believe we need to start talking about the GOOD too! 🙌🏽 Sometimes people are working hard, doing their best, and trying to make an honest living to provide for their families. When someone goes above and beyond, they deserve to be recognized and appreciated.

So Dennis, thank you for your amazing customer service and for making our night a great one! You definitely left an impression, and I hope management knows what an asset you are. Keep being you, keep serving people with that great attitude, and keep shining! 💜

Give people their flowers while they’re still here. 🌸👏🏽”

Ferry Street Barbecue 89 Ferry Street, Newark Barbecue • $

“Popped in here for the first time after walking by for years. Food was great! Service was friendly but not very attentive towards the end; tried numerous times to wave down our server for a take out box and the bill. Had to go up front to get both ourselves. I will go back, but my main concern is the amount of flies in the dining area. They even have fly zapper attached to the wall. Also especially gross were all the water sitting were sitting in the plants in the window right by the table. There were little mosquito or fly larvae swimming around, making it look like the water was bubbling. They need to water the plants from the bottom and not let the water sit. Maybe not so many plants either. Looks a bit unkept.”

“The food here is good and okay, there’s nothing wrong with it. The main problem with this restaurant is that it seems a lot of times when i order from here online, they tend to mess up the order frequently, not following instructions correctly, or missing certain items. I’d say if you want to have an enjoyable experience, dine in and don’t order for delivery. Good chance they’ll mess up your order occasionally.”

“Taste of the Caribbean catered my mom's birthday. Denise was courteous, accommodating, and kind and developed a really excellent menu for the event. She hand-delivered the food and made sure that it was held at temperature just like we requested. She accommodated the spice profiles as well given that my mom is a little bit older and can't handle the spicy food in the same way as she used to. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend them and their catering services to anybody. Amazing customer service and even better tasting food. The beef patties and the oxtail were 10 out of 10.”

“Walked in and the service was exceptionally well! Instantly greeted from behind the counter and everything was steaming in the pans ready to go. The menu had so many options so it took a while for me to decide but I went with the Loaded Fries with a side of Rice. The Loaded Fries had Fried Cauliflower and Guac with a bunch of veggies!
Price totalled to $14.48 which is actually really great considering the mountain of food given! I pretty much ate a corner of the container and was stuff!!! The amount and taste is definitely worth the price!!”

“Have I mentioned pesto is one of my fav Italian sauces? So of course I got the chicken pesto and it was delish! (Halal!) The young man who took my order was kind and patient as it was my first time coming so I was a little inquisitive about the menu. I had the hibiscus tea iced.. and ordered a beef halivi. I have to come back in the am to check the calmer vibe I came towards the end of the night and not sure because there was an event outside or because it's normally lively but I'm looking forward to trying some coffees in the AM, God willing. They have books for reading too!”
